The Decemberists Undercover Project
I think that I've decided to rename BAD to "The Decemberists Undercover Project".

Announcing the BAD Project
Okay. Maybe there is a better name for the project...
Regardless, I'd like to announce the Best Album - Decemberists (BAD) Project. My idea is to recreate the Decemberists albums track-for-track except use Fan versions of the songs culled from YouTube videos instead of Colin Meloy and company. Eventually, I plan to implement a way for users to vote in head-to-head competitions between videos. For example, say that there are two fan covers of a Decemberist song like "The Infanta". Users will have the opportunity to choose their favorite between the two. Over time, perhaps, the set of winning videos will represent a quality recreation of the original albums. So far, I've started searching YouTube for covers songs from Picaresque.
Check out the current (incomplete) set of entries at the Albums page of the This Falderal website.
